Siedlung is an audiovisual narrative on the urban development of the Berlin Horseshoe Estate by Bruno Taut. With photos, video footage and live overhead projections, a story unfolds about the dream of an architect to build houses for (what he called) ‘the common man’. The show is presented on location in Malem, a garden estate in the city of Ghent.
